Who here races cup cars?

[fasthonda]

there is a class for the turbo miatas in NASA;  ST-2 (power to weight class;  8.7:1 is the cutoff.   i've seen a miata or two (both turbo and supercharged) running there...

it's a pretty fast class;  at the last VIR race, there were 10 cars;  fastest lap was turned by my client in a 2006 EVO (a low 2:06;  but that car can definitely go faster there!);  from 2:06 to 2:10 there were a bunch of ST-2 cars;  mostly P cars and C5 vettes and an old WC Caddy CTS-V. 

so, yes you can race a turbo miata if you want to!  LOL!   i'd guess you'd want to aim for about 275 whp or so, assuming you'd be around 2400lbs with driver in the miata....   that would be a fast, fun lil miata!
